I went to a seminar at New York historical society about this very subject (why there aren't many successful minority superhero characters) and the rwasywqs the minority children asked said they would probably not even bother to read them because the character is a minority. So blame the minority kids who were asked.
Then don't read them. They can read and connect with tons of other things. I barely read any comics growing up. I have only read a handful of 'graphic novels'. Are kids required to 'connect' with a superhero? Isn't Lebron James enough? Or Barack Obama? Or Beyonce?
Have a writer sit down and create a black character and then put it out for publication and then let the readers decide. It's called 'work'. It's what Stan Lee did years and years ago. He worked. He created.
I see what you are saying but if all Hollywood can do is take an established white character and make him black, that is the opposite of creativity.
Is this the extent of black creativity? They have to take a successful white character and make him black? That's it?
They have plenty of money to make comics, movies, tv shows. None of that is stopping them.
It will happen. We all know that. Liberals are suckers for being 'historic' and patting themselves on the back for their tolerance.
And we will see a black Superman and black Batman and black Wonder Woman and white Black Panther (wait til that shit hits the fan!).
But these are icons to me. I won't wait my money or time on any of it.
the kids said themselves: they don't want to see a minority [not only black!] superhero. AND... why do these [or any] kids have to idol any celebrity no matter what COLOR or race or ethnicity he or she is? why cant they idol their parents or Jesus or Clara Barton?
you are very closed minded since you said only black people.
